Brief Summary   Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal,but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as Type ll Diabetes mellitus .In the Siddha concept,it may be correlated to the Neerizhivu.
Prediabetes mainly due to lifestyle modification, unhealthy eating habits,less physical activity, medical health disorder,under any medication .Hence, considerably more patients of Prediabetes (Neerizhivu) have been recorded in the Ayothidoss Pandithar Hospital.
The Siddha drug Seendhil Chooranam is said to be cost effective and simple medicine and has Antidiabetic,Immunomodulatory, Hepatoprotective, Analgesic , Anti-inflammatory, Antimicrobial and Anti-histamine activities.
Yogasanam plays an important role in the management of blood sugar levels.Yoga can moderate the impact of diabetes is through its effectiveness as a stress -reduction measure.Because high levels of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol raise blood sugar levels.
So,I hope Seenthil Chooranam and Yogasanam will be effective in the treatment of Neerizhivu (Prediabetes).
